4 Week Old Frankie

Today I had this gorgeous family come out for photos of this little guy Frankie who is 4 weeks old. He was wide awake for a while, and didn't want to be nude for his photos, but once we got his clothes back on, he was sound asleep snoring away! He is so strong for a newborn, so we had no hope of getting the usual curled up asleep photos, but we did get lots of cute photos anyway!
Hope you guys love your sneak peak, Frankie is a little cutie pie :)

My Blog Is Back!

So here I am, back on my blog! It has been over 1 year since I have updated my blog, I took a veeeeeeery long break from it, but am ready to start posting again! I originally stopped my blog posts because so many people seem to prefer looking at photos on my Facebook Page, however the photo quality on Facebook is pretty dismal and does absolutely no justice for any photographers talent, so I figured the best way to showcase my work is back on here! My Sneak Peaks now of clients shoots will be that, a 'Sneak Peak', rather then my old posting on Facebook of almost the whole shoot! So now it will be hard selecting my favourite 3 or 4 photos from a shoot! I have been off from photo shoots since February this year, since I had our Second baby in April....we had a baby girl 'Summer' who is now a whopping 4 months old! Where does the time go? We have also moved town, to a little country town, Pittsworth, about 40 minutes from Toowoomba, but I will still be doing my shoots in Toowoomba :) Life has been incredibly busy this year, but have enjoyed every minute of it!
I start back doing photos in September, and I already have quite a few sessions booked up until Christmas, with only about 3-4 spots left this year, so please please email me as soon as you can if you would like to book in. I am really wanting to theme things up now for my shoots, get creative, think Cowboys and Indians, homemade beautiful tents, Daddies fishing with their little ones, Mummies and Daughters playing hairdressers etc. I also want to branch out and do shoots inside my clients homes (if of course they are very well lit with beautiful sunlight), photos around your belongings, in your backyard, doing your own family things. So if this interests you at all, let me know and we will do it! I am very very excited for the things to come!

I can't possibly do a blog post without photos, so here are a few from our gorgeous (bias much?!) children, Jack and Summer. The love they have for each other is already very overwhelming, it is just beautiful so I love to capture it as much as I can on camera!

So remember, send me an email if you would like to enquire on a Photo Shoot, my email is a.newmanphotos@gmail.com and I will travel as far as the Sunshine Coast, just ask!

Erich [baby]

Last weekend I met with Sacha and her adorable little 3 month old boy, Erich. Poor little Erich (and his mummy and daddy) hasn't had the best start to his life, with him being in hospital a few times, and being quite sore and unsettled :( I am really happy to have captured these beautiful photos of him, being all cute and happy though! He had his ups and downs (as does any baby!) but we persisted and got lots of great photos! He was pulling some of the cutest smiles, and must make his parents hearts melt! Here is a little sneak peak at your photos guys, I hope you love them :) And hang in there, it will all get better soon, so try to make the most of this hard time :)

The Moore-Leotta Family

It was out to Warwick on Sunday to do another shoot for these guys, I did their family shots when little Ken was a newborn only 3 months ago, so it was time for some more because he has grown so much! The forecast was for rain, but we thought we would risk it anyway, and after we got to the location, unloaded and set up for the first shot, it started pouring! So we packed everything up and drove around until it stopped, which wasn't too long. We headed back to the spot and snapped away! It showered on and off, but as a bonus, it made for really beautiful lighting! Definitely wasn't my easiest shoot, little VJ hates photos (as does most 3 year old boys!), so the photos are about as natural as you can get! Lillian who has just started Prep just loves me taking her photos, she is always posing for me, and then wanting to see the photo afterwards, and even takes a few good shots herself!
We decided I need a little turn table to sit on to spin around really quick when the kids are running so fast! I am really happy with this shoot and have many photos to edit, so here are a fair few to get you by guys! Thanks again guys for getting me to capture these precious moments with your beautiful little family :)

The Plowman-Whyatt Family

On Saturday, I headed back over to the Japanese Gardens to meet Rebekah, Russ and Connor to take their first ever family photos. It was so easy taking their photos, I love it when I am at a shoot and we can just chat like old friends, it makes the whole shoot so easy, and more relaxed, and then-I get photos like these! Connor took a while to warm to getting his photos taken, but as soon as his Daddy got out a ball, that was it-we got smiles and giggles galore! And aren't they just the sweetest smiles ever?! Thankyou so much for asking me to take your first family portraits, I had so much fun and I hope that these photos are just what you hoped for plus much much more! I know I am extremely happy with them, and have definitely got some of my best ever shots :)
I have way too many favourites, so here is a very big share of the ones I have edited so far!
